Corncobs as a potential source of functional chemicals.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Phytochemical examination of corncob extracts led to the isolation of a new lignan identified as 7,7'-dihydroxy-3'-O-demethyl-4-methoxymatairesinol, together with seven known compounds, identified as β-sitosterol, β-sitosteryl-β-D-glucoside, 6β-hydroxy-campest-4-en-3-one, 5α,8α-epidioxyergosta-6,22-dien-3β-ol, tricin, kaempferol and p-coumaric acid. The isolated compounds were identified by one and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopies and mass spectrometry.

Aspergillus flavus is the main causal agent of aflatoxin contamination in several agricultural products, including cottonseed and corn (2,11,15,22). Aflatoxins are toxic fungal metabolites that are limited in food and feed by government regulations throughout most of the world (26,32). A. flavus can be divided into S and L strains based on morphologic, genetic, and physiologic criteria (3,10,16...

A 2-deoxyglucose-resistant mutant (M7) of Humicola lanuginosa was obtained by exposing conidia to γ-rays and permitting expression in broth containing 0.6% 2-deoxyglucose (DG) and cellobiose (1%) before plating on DG esculin-ferric ammonium citrate agar medium from which colonies showing faster and bigger blackening zones were selected. Kinetic parameters for enhanced ß-glucosidase (BGL) synthe...
